After Months of Delays, Google Finally Announces Support for In App Payments

After months of delays, Google said that it is finally releasing support for in-app payments to developers at a press conference this morning at its Mountain View headquarters. This will help Android developers tap into the rapidly growing free-to-play segment of games and sell virtual goods.

Developers can bill customers in two ways — either through Google Checkout or through carrier billing to T-Mobile and AT&T. They can’t use other payment methods like Paypal if they want their work to be listed in the Android Marketplace.
